Yeah, I'm pretty cautious. In SW Florida (aka God's Waiting Room) we
have a lot of people on the road who can't remember their own
addresses. Wrong side of the highway wrecks are all too common. After
my 86 year old father sailed through a few red lights my mom finally
took his keys away. He doesn't mind, thank God.

One of my friends lives in Ft. Lauderdale, he says an elderly person
drives through the front of a convenience store, or into a swimming
pool, about once a month.

I am glad your mother took the keys away from your father. It is hard to
give up your independence, I am sure.
